N.I.C.E. Program Details
We have implemented the program as follows: Our N.I.C.E. committee members select a native plant to feature each season, then work with participating area nurseries to assure the plant will be available, and then promote the plant to the public through announcements in our local newspaper (Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post) and through signs at participating nurseries. The purchasers of the featured plant receive a fact sheet about the plant. Participating N.I.C.E. nurseries in the Fredericksburg area are Dodds Family Tree Nursery and Florist, Friendly Natives, and Woerner Feed & Garden Supply. Please be sure to visit these nurseries and help support them. For contact information, see Additional Resources / Nurseries, Seed Sources, and Landscapers
N.I.C.E. Plant of the Season Flier... (Spring 2013) Yellow Columbine.
